- Age: 19
- Position:
- One of the "senior" members. (Senior meaning he has been on RMRK for at least a year.)
Silverline first joined RMRK under the name of therophster. At first he was fairly quiet and only posted when he encountered problems with RPG Maker, asking for help. He also offered to make music for people, though after a while stopped doing it.
Silverline became a fairly active member. He eventually abandoned his game project, Short Story, though decided to stick around at the forums since he had become quite acquainted with a few members. Once the forum's popularity grew and the spam/flaming troubles escalated, he was chosen to become a moderator alongside dwarra, Pegasusgamer2005 and HaloOfTheSun. As time continued, he "worked his way up" and eventually became a global moderator, wheras previously he had only been a mod of the General_Chat forum.
Shortly after, RMRK started to go under change. Member levels and posting rate grew exopentially. Thanks in part to the work of the moderators and also a few bans on particularly troublesome people, RMRK had become a more inviting place. RMRK was converted from phpBB over to SMF by Crankeye, and lasted for a while in this state, though began to experience occasional downtime. Many members also reported and complained about the site's slowing loading times. This was a result of crankeye.com's increasing popularity. In july, the site went down entirely, due to a bandwidth overage. Silverline used the Crankeye.org domain he'd bought to put up a temporary page with any news he had, until the forums came back online after a few days. This, however, only lasted a short while, and eventually the site went down completely.
When this happened, Silverline opened up a forum on crankeye.org for people to post in whilst the main site and forums were down. This proved popular, and the forums accumulated several thousand posts in only a few days.
During this downtime, Silverline managed to contact Crankeye and offered to host his site and the forums, and by mid august, the site was back up. Silverline now controls and pays for all the hosting of RMRK. In november, he bought a server for the purpose of running the RMRK forums on it. Later on in Janurary 07, crankeye.com & .org were both lost, though now they live on the same server as RMRK.net.
RMRK.net came about during a last ditch effort by silverline to keep everything alive. The forums were simply too popular for the shared hosting that they were on, and Silverline was looking at suspension. Thus he moved them himself onto his dedicated server. Silverline made himself an administrator in a "dirty" way, by manually editing the forum's database, in order to be able to reach the forum's control panel to fix various errors the forums were having (due to the move). When Crankeye next came online, he decided to keep Silverline as an administrator.
Personality
Most people generally like Silverline and enjoy his personality and also the way he manages RMRK. He is frequently the source of amusement in the IRC Channel also.
For a person of power, Silverline is surprisingly submissive, and does not show a large ego or big-headed personality. He sometimes even appears to be opposite.

Projects/Achievements
Silverline is an avid musician; most of his works can be found on his site. Silverline also has intermediate knowledge of HTML/CSS, and also is learning PHP, mySQL & Javascript. This is arguably good for the forum; Silverline occasionally modifies, upgrades or edits aspects of the forum himself. The 4 skins that the forum currently has are all made by him. The "postbit mod" now used on many SMF forums was originally written by Silverline for RMRK.
